..hmm what has really annoyed me ...i was asked to remove this snake from a mates "SHED" since i was already at his place when they saw it,he said it was a tiger snake and they going to kill it..i said no,let me have a look! it ened up being a stepehns banded snake,wich i told them was still venomous..they said well they whant to kill it cos they have kids and a dog,i said "no let me take it and release it in the bush near yours" they said no cos they dont whant it comming back and if it did theyd probably kill it..,so i handed it to a professional snake catcher trying to do the right thing,cos i knew he'd know where abouts to release it,as iam unfamiliar with this species and its habitat.i was not sure where to relase it so i gave it to a lisenced professional snake catcher...i had taken photos of this snake just befor i caught it in the shed..wich i posted on here APS,aswell as the stroy of what happened....but then i was warned thru a PM by ppl saying..what i did taking photos and saving this snake was illegal and they were going to report me and i could cop HUGE fines and lose my lisence for doing this....now what i dont get..is theres been a couple of posts and publicised articles n threads of where a person has killed a snake...but there has never been a recorded fine given to any one who has killed a reptile..and here iam ..saved a rare snake handed it to a porfessional snake catcher and now im copping it and being told i could be slapped with huge fines n loose my lisence for doing what i did...hmmm
